Hi Gerry,
Thank you for taking the time to respond. To answer your questions, I have
92% of the 160 GB available (most data is on the other drive with programmes
on the C drive). I have run disc cleanup and emptied recycled bin. I don't
think that space is the issue. I have never run third party defrag software
either. I did google the message and got some suggestions on registering
.dll files - the link is as
follows:(
http://www.andreasroom.com/blog/archive/2004/01/18/defrag.aspx. In
an attempt to reregister windows defrag however I am finding that I do not
have the dfrag.inf file to install. Any suggestions based on this
information? I will try and run it in safe mode as well.
regards
Maria
